Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a divorce settlement, her lawyer said Monday, bringing an apparent end to one of the longest and most contentious divorces in Hollywood history. Jolie's attorney James Simon confirmed to the Associated Press that the couple had come to a deal. News of the settlement was first reported by People magazine. "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt," Simon said in a statement. "She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family. This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over."
No court documents have been filed yet, and a judge will need to sign off on the agreement. An email late Monday night to Pitt's attorney seeking comment was not immediately answered. Jolie, 49, filed to divorce Pitt, 61, in 2016, and a judge in 2019 declared them divorced and single, but the splitting of assets and child custody needed to be separately settled. A private judge that the two had hired to handle the case reached a decision soon after that included equal custody of their children, but Jolie filed to have him removed from the case over an unreported conflict of interest. An appeals court agreed, the judge was removed, and the couple had to start over. No details of the agreement were immediately revealed, and the couple's use of the private judge has kept the proceedings largely under wraps.
